Hi Pawell,

I had the same issues, either try the latest patch that was recommended,
OR, try the older ones (I am using these three and I have not had a memory
error/OOPS/etc in 24hrs)

Before patches:
Aug 30 05:00:48 p34 kernel: [122150.720173]  [<ffffffff8103798a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0
Sep 10 20:59:39 p34 kernel: [531189.671424]  [<ffffffff810379ba>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0

After patches:
(no errors)

Patches you need (against 3.1-rc4):

(for the igb problem/memory allocation issue)
0001-Fix-pointer-dereference-before-call-to-pcie_bus_conf.patch
0002-PCI-Remove-MRRS-modification-from-MPS-setting-code.patch

(for the RCU/memory errors)
0003-filemap.patch

I've attached them to this e-mail, they seem to have fixed all of my 
problems so far.

Justin.
